High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz


In December 2011,I wrote that High Fidelity cables led by cable designer Rick Schultz was putting together a new cable.The cable came to market as CT-1.The CT-1 has FINALLY made it into my system!I had obtained a version of the prototype that Rick had been working on.It blew my previous reference Genesis by Virtual Dynamics.I thought I had finally found my end with this cable.This prototype delivered to my ears "Nirvana".Could I be at the end of my quest for the ultimate sound?
No. I received two pairs of CT-1 to replace my prototypes.They went into the system this past Friday.Unable to dedicate time until Sunday listening,I stole a few moments,ducking away from company with anticipation.My guest could tell even with the music set for"ambiance"something was intriguing and I was in for a treat!
The experience:
First off,CT-1 was very user friendly.Installation was simple;the cable is very nice and light.The female RCA fit beautifully unlike any I had found in other cable.It was secure and reliable.It seemed much thought was dedicated to developing a designer fit to an aesthetically stunning RCA connector.Install entailed a few wiggles to ensure what seemed like a compression fit on my RCA.
It was 2-3 hrs. for the 1st step of break in to be complete.At that point I had something different!Today,although they only have 10-12 hrs. on them,I can`t put into words how much my system has transformed.Believe me,I loved my prototypes.However....there is simply no comparision.
The clarity and sound is so natural.
The soundstage is like nothing I ever heard.Resoulution is breathtaking and inner detail is simply hard to believe possible.
The sound has transended and now it simply does not seem as thought I have speakers.
My system is musicians playing music.
I am told with time they will improve and I trust that as it was revealed with the prototypes.I wanted to share my thoughts with you that now.
Unequivocally,a testament to High Fidelity,as the name declares.
High Fidelity Cables for me,the last word on it,after 12 hours!
Truly Amazing

Great posts John. I am not sure how the matter at hand can be made any more clear than that. I am still fairly certain that the point will be missed yet again.
I'd like to thank Tbg, Calvinj, Calloway, Charles1dad, Lak, Rlwry, Agisthos for your posts in the past 4 pages.
Mapman Mcgrogan2, other worms. You have said nothing but to kiss ass to your non informed cronies about nothing. I'm wasting time in 3 lines to tell you what unless stupid crap you've barfed onto this thread. Major fools!
Hahahahaha!!!
Special thanks to Rick Schultz for making the best stuff ever!!!
Those who have the ability- Enjoy the Music!!!
Sammons, You mentioned thinking the HFC power products. In my experience, the may be the biggest magnetic improvement. A friend of mine we so thrilled by getting an Ultimate HF Power Cord He wanted lots more.
He told me that the U pc made a better difference than any interconnect he'd tried in over 20 years and could not fathom how a power cord could effect the sound like that.. He has now gotten U spk and UR digital and dreams of more. I agree with him. I have 2 URR pc and the upgraded UR Power Filter. Any verbal description would not tell you how miraculous the sound is. From personal experience I am quite certain that if you haven't heard it, You haven't heard all that is possible in audio.HFC- Better than all others.
I hope you get an opportunity to audition a high fidelity power cord and share your thoughts. Thanks DD
Having a great day listening to music! Thanks to HFC. I put an isolation table under my HFC WGPF (magnetic power filter) with very pleasing results. The already incredible sound got even more so. Unheard of purity and realness got even better. I have sojourners traveling from other cities to hear my system in a week so Back to listening and tweaking. ;-) D
Back to the music everyone.Lol. I appreciate the comments from folks who have listened and want to listen more. I am currently in my weekly Friday night listening sessions with my High Fidelity Ultimates my ARC REF3 and my Revel Studio 2. I am listening to Phronesis and it is blowing my mind. my experience with this product has led me re evaluate what I used to think about them making a difference. There is no going back after this. The musicians in his band are on the same page so much that it is flat out unreal. This is where the high fidelity makes a difference. You get a fast and articulate piano player and someone who is great on percussions going with a great bass player and boom. There is a complete unraveling of each passage and the sounds between the notes are beautiful. When music is being played with speed, precision and emotion all at the same time its musical joy. These guys take you down a musical maze and the high fidelity stuff just handles it like a champ. Clarity and decay is special. I'm going to be in my sweet spot for hours tonight. This is why I'm in this hobby. I just want to listen. I want to block out the sun and sit in the shade close my eyes and be transported. We all have to understand that there will always be folks that will doubt what you hear. Trust your ears. I realized after allowing myself to go down to some other person's level was a huge mistake. Why should we care about guys that will never hear our systems and have nothing to share about something that is important to us. Getting the best sound possible is what's important. I hear people argue opinions all day long. This is audiogon. Not who shot jfk. All this marketing conspiracy crap is not what you sought when you came here to this thread. Does the person have the product? What impressions can they share with the rest of us audiophiles? There are crime shows all day on ID channel on cable. When I see someone come and they haven't listened to a product or they doubt a product that they haven't heard at all why bother with them. If you are a true audiophile the first rule is to listen. If you been on audiogon and you are a veteran you should know that by now. Wisdom and time don't always run hand in hand. It tells me why pay attention to the talk. If they haven't even listened. If someone has listen to just the entry level cable then how can they doubt an improvement on the higher up models. We have allowed some guy to matter to us that shouldn't. It's like going to Chick-Fil_A for a hamburger. No Grown man should be telling another Grown man what they like or don't like or what they are wrong about. This ain't a golf course. The snobby Golf attitude don't cut it in the real world. This is the audio world. No one can make us buy a product. This is what surprises me the most everyone. Some guys think they are so smart that they need to come save everyone on audiogon from the conspiracy. This tells you everything you need to know. The rest of us are just not smart enough to make our own decisions. I'm glad I got my own ears. I sold all my other cables because I love the sound of these. Trust yourself not some random guy who doesn't have experience with something you are considering.
